Week in Review



The food crisis in the Sahel region of Africa is getting worse and there are one million children in danger of dying from starvation.  Lauren Bush wrote an inspiring article and put out a video this week to show all of us how we can help!  To quote Lauren "Let's help give voices to the voiceless and food to the hungry."

This week we funded out first project in Cambodia, where 22% of adults are illiterate.  While we will be providing 3,400 uniforms, the Room to Read club at Greenwich Academy raised $20,000 to build a library in Cambodia!  

Great article on Corey Gifford, Transparency for Haiti and the amazing work that they do.  Be sure to check out there event coming up over the weekend in New Bedford!

As you know, we love products that do good while looking good and the new collaboration between Tory Burch and FEED for Holt Renfrew does just that!  The only downside is that so far they are only available at Holt Renfrew stores in Canada!  Those of you in Canada, pick up one ASAP.  Fingers crossed they are available to be shipped to the US very soon.  We have a BIG birthday coming up and these would be the perfect gift!

We need everyone's help to increase our number of Facebook followers!  For every 20 Facebook followers we get during the month of May we will donate one uniform.  So "like" us and please encourage ALL of your friends to do the same!  

Happy Derby Day, Happy Cinco de Mayo and Happy Weekend to all!

xo, Megan and Jess
